Kyler Sonney, Naturalist & Guide
I grew up in Erie, PA, and went to college at Penn State, where I got into birding in 2016. For three years, I lived in coastal Wilmington, NC, working as an assistant park ranger, where coastal/pelagic birding was incredible. I moved to the Cleveland area in 2022 after working in Glacier National Park as a hiking guide, where I had the pleasure of co-teaching the Birding Week and the Master Naturalist program. I am an avid birder and nature photographer. I have been lucky enough to bird in some incredible places, including Ohio, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Florida, Montana, South Carolina, and Tennessee. I love connecting people to the natural world through our feathered friends. I am a certified interpretive guide with over five years of guiding experience.
